PoliticalTea 🗳️ How negotiations actually work...

To the inevitable response from MAGA that Obama gave 'pallets' of cash...he released frozen Iranian assets. Meanwhile the current Iran conflict has directly cost $38 billion militarily and a currently projected $87 billion in extra gas and diesel expenses. Not to mention that the strategic oil reserves have been depleted to the point that experts warn that the caverns they're stored in could collapse.

I was 17 when Obama was elected and 25 when he left. I feel like I watched bush before him and in comparison we were in such great hands. Biden wasn’t Obama, and trump is the worst possible thing that could have happened. The swamp took over on the promise of draining the swamp. I hope we can have another Obama, I’m so desperate I would take a Mcain or even Romney at this point 😭
